I may include Ambipom, Milotic and Cinccino there. They are pretty outclassed and yet people brought them up for a few times.

Update :

Jellicent : Unranked >>> C

While there are better options out there, Jellicent has a niche in Water Absorb, Taunt and Will-O-Wisp while being a good defensive wall. Its typing both a blessing and a curse. While it provides Jellicent with numerous resistances that enables it to tank physical hits, it also makes Jellicent weak to Grass, Ghost and Electric, common types for special attackers. Its weakness to Dark is also harmful due to Knock Off on some occasion. It also loses to all S Rank Pokemon.

Gastrodon : B- >>> C+

Competition with Toxapex is still running on but haven't updated yet. It only provides useful Water and Ground type immunity with some offensive presence while also is a reliable counter to rain teams.

Goodra : Unranked >>> C-

It has a passive nature and faces competition with other Pokemon in the meta in different ways, such as Chansey and Toxapex for special wall, Mega Salamence and Garchomp for offensive capabilities and many others. However, unlike Chansey and Toxapex, it is able to dish out some damage while also immune to Grass type moves, including Spore and Sleep Powder, is a notable trait for it. Relatively wide movepool is also useful.
